The ladies of Covington come to the rescue and set out to organize a Christmas Eve wedding ceremony for the couples. But time is critical and money is nonexistent. The church needs to be painted and the furnace is beyond repair. As the painting and repairs are underway, fresh flowers and then money are mysteriously being left at the church. As the day draws near, there's one unwilling bride who may or may not walk down the aisle. Will she be a runaway bride, or go through with it for the children's sake? Wait and see as the big day approaches.
A COVINGTON CHRISTMAS is another charming addition to Medlicott's Ladies of Covington series. It's a beautiful story that will warm your heart and nourish your soul. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
Book Summary
The new pastor at the Cove Road Church in Covington discovers that a former pastor from forty years ago was never ordained as a minister, and was therefore not qualified to marry anyone -- which means that five longstanding marriages are invalid! With their marriages thrown into crisis, it's decided that the couples absolutely must remarry on Christmas Eve. But with the church desperately in need of repairs and lacking the funds to fix the rotting floorboards and the outdated heating system, how can they ever get it ready in time?
Sounds like a job for the ladies of Covington! Grace, Hannah, and Amelia step in to organize the weddings, while their friends and neighbors volunteer paint, lumber, and good old-fashioned elbow grease to fix up the church. But when last-minute obstacles threaten to stop the weddings, they're going to need a miracle to turn Christmas Eve into a wedding day that no one will ever forget.
